Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The note pyramid of Grand Soir is built on a harmonious combination of balsamic, gourmand, and spicy elements, creating a dense and warm atmosphere.

The foundation of the composition consists of benzoin and labdanum, which give sweet-resinous shades reminiscent of amber and leather.

Tonka bean adds a spicy depth with notes of almond and vanilla, while vanilla envelops it all with a creamy sweetness, making the fragrance incredibly seductive and cozy.

This blend of notes smoothly unfolds on the skin, not separating into clear top, middle, and base layers, but creating a unified whole that evolves throughout the night, becoming more intimate and memorable.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance.
